      Pros

      Great place to kickstart your career. While WLB can vary depending on the team, can vary from good to bad, on average seems to be closer to being ok in my experience.

      Cons

      Not a great place to stay if you value meritocracy, gaining political capital is more valuable than delivering customer value. Some team on calls are pretty bad, you might as well always be online in those teams.

      Pros

      Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

      Cons

      You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
